You will understand that a Cop that thinks you did a crime will do just about anything ( even illegal actions) to prove you guilty. This was an egregious case and I've been in front of a multitude of Narcissist Cops who believe they should be worshipped as ABOVE EVERYTHING. I'm a reformed former criminal and I know my fair share of how the dark side goes, how things are done.. Why things are done.. Why cops go Dirty.. how law enforcement are flipped.. Outlaw bike clubs have been flipping Cops and Prison guards for as long as there have been cops and prison guards...
If I were to add my own view on this case as opinion only.. When your dealing drugs, and you don't connect any way with any organized group.. your going to get hurt.. drug dealers don't want competition they want expansion and sales.. Selling anything is still about Hierarchy... if Doug didn't have permission it may be under the radar for some time, but eventually he'd get big enough to get noticed. Probably warned.. and then probably dealt with. So my direction would be to look into the bigger dealers in the area, and who they work for... that's where I would look. Doug might even know, but is too scared to say anything. The "Mister Big" stings are flawed... the flaw is most of these are ordinary citizens put into extraordinary situations.. they will say something only because this might have been the only crime they've been in contact with in their lives... so it ends up being the first thing they bring up when they're looking for "DIRT" It's so egregious that most countries WONT ALLOW IT... how about you? Tell the truth OPP Durham police botched the criminal investigation in this case and you didn't have any way of fixing it besides trying to frame a man that you knew didn't do it.
